Simple Ones

The ghost of your actions followed you stealthily 
Whispering and telling you that you've failed
Bitterness and regrets tortured you terribly
Painting portraits of you chasing your tail

Bored of living in cycles
Exhausted from living in fears
Drowning in a dozen of dry pools
Wallowing in a sky full of cares

Cut off from the web of this struggle
Maybe save your strength for a dance
'cause wisdom would cross you up of this hurdle
She's so concerned about you simple ones

Arum, it seems your message is to put one's energy in positive, forward-looking pursuits. If so, I support that. It's nice to have you in the Poetry Soup community! :) Bartholomew
